Serving Andover, North Andover, Boxford, Bradford, Groveland, Haverhill, and Methuen

At Northeast Landscape Contractors, we provide a full range of professional residential lawn and landscape services designed to keep your property looking its best throughout the season.

Our experienced and friendly field technicians take pride in delivering dependable service supported by advanced dispatch and tracking systems. This allows for optimized routes, reliable scheduling, and the consistent results your property deserves.

Lawn Mowing

Your lawn is the foundation of your property’s curb appeal—and maintaining it properly requires time, consistency, and expertise.

Most lawns require weekly mowing and typically take 30 minutes or more per visit. When you trust Northeast Landscape Contractors, you can expect every cut to be completed with precision and care.

We consider every factor for a quality result, including:

  • Proper cutting height and frequency based on season, grass type, and fertilization

  • Alternating mowing patterns to encourage upright growth and a smooth, even appearance

  • Professional-grade equipment with sharp blades for clean, consistent cuts

Weeding & Weed Control

Our weeding services help maintain clean, well-kept beds and turf areas throughout the growing season.

Weeding is performed by hand on a bi-weekly basis for optimal results, with care taken to remove weeds completely, including roots. Targeted treatments may be used selectively for noxious weeds, allowing us to limit chemical use while protecting surrounding turf and plantings.

Routine maintenance helps keep landscape beds and lawn areas weed-free and looking their best.

Signature Gardens

Custom Horticultural Garden Maintenance

Are you interested in a custom horticultural garden maintenance program that replaces traditional weeding and shrub trimming while keeping your garden pristine all year long? Signature Gardens is our highest level of garden care, designed for properties that require detailed, proactive attention.

A dedicated block of time is scheduled for your property with weekly or bi-weekly visits, allowing our team to address seasonal needs as they arise.

Services may include structural pruning, shrub trimming, weeding, perennial division and transplanting, deadheading, pest monitoring, soil care and fertilization, and critter repellent applications. Bedding annuals and annual container design and installation are available upon request.

If you’re interested, please contact our office to schedule a meeting with Kathy to develop a customized program tailored to your property’s specific needs.

Core Aeration

One of the most effective—and often overlooked—lawn services, core aeration helps relieve soil compaction and allows roots to expand.

Aeration improves the flow of water, nutrients, and oxygen into the soil, promoting thicker turf, improved color, and overall lawn health. If your fertilization program isn’t delivering the results you expect, aeration can make a noticeable difference. Most clients schedule this service annually for best results.

Compost Application

Compost application introduces valuable organic material and beneficial soil biology to your lawn. This improves green-up, moisture retention, and overall turf performance.

Compost applications may be performed on their own or combined with seeding and aeration services for enhanced results.

Compost Application & Seeding

This combination service installs high-quality seed while restoring soil nutrients through compost application, helping create a thicker, more resilient lawn.

For optimal results, we recommend applying starter fertilizer and lime during and after germination. Consistent moisture is essential—please refer to our watering guide at nlcinc.net/watering-instructions.

Core Aeration, Overseeding & Compost Application

Our most popular lawn enhancement package combines mechanical aeration, overseeding, compost application, and starter fertilizer.

This process reduces soil compaction, places seed directly into open soil pockets, and coats the surface with nutrient-rich compost to support rapid germination and strong root development. Maintaining even moisture is key to success.

Core Aeration, Slice Seeding & Compost Application

Short of a full lawn renovation, this three-step service offers the most powerful turf rejuvenation.

By combining aeration, slice seeding, and composting, we create ideal soil conditions for new seed to thrive. Starter fertilizer and lime are recommended at the time of seeding and again after germination. Consistent moisture is critical—please review our watering instructions prior to service.

Overseeding

Fall is the ideal time for overseeding, typically from mid-August through September, when cooler temperatures and seasonal rainfall support strong germination.

Overseeding fills thin or worn areas, resulting in a denser, healthier lawn. Starter fertilizer and lime are recommended during and after germination, along with consistent watering.

Fertilization Programs

A vibrant, green lawn brings your landscape to life. Our fertilization programs are designed to deliver visible, long-lasting results through season-long care.

We offer four results-driven programs:

  • Gold Program – Six rounds of fertilization, preventative grub treatment, lime application, and complimentary spot weed control

  • Gold + H₂O Moisture Management – Adds three moisture management treatments to improve recovery and reduce water demand

  • Platinum Program – Six fertilization rounds, grub and lime treatments, three rounds of tick control, fall core aeration, and complimentary weed spot spraying

  • Platinum + H₂O Moisture Management – Combines all Platinum services with three moisture management treatments

Tree & Shrub Fertilization

Our Tree & Shrub Fertilization Program includes four seasonal applications designed to promote root strength and protect against insects and disease.

Mature trees and shrubs are a significant investment. Proactive care helps preserve plant health and reduce the need for costly replacements.

Tick & Flea Control

This three-round insect control program targets ticks, fleas, ants, centipedes, chinch bugs, millipedes, and billbugs through surface-level applications to turf and perimeter areas.

Treatments are designed to support a safer, more comfortable outdoor environment for families and pets.

Moisture Management (H₂O)

Our moisture management program includes three specialized treatments designed to improve turf recovery, enhance color, and reduce stress from drought conditions.

By improving water efficiency at the root level, this service supports greener, healthier lawns with reduced water requirements.
